Grandchildren James and Michaela shared cabin #5 at Lost River State Park with us and their parents. We had a great time, especially watching the fire in the fireplace and cooking grits for breakfast.
Oldest gandson Jared retrieving a frisbee from the roof of the picnic shelter. I wish I'd caught a picture of his grand jump back to the ground. Somehow I had the feeling that this might be the part of the reunion when we made a trip to the emergency room, but that didn't happen, thank goodness.
My sister Mary (number 6 in my family of 13 siblings) and her husband David. Mary was the main mover and organizer for this first-ever reunion and did a great job. Bet she's sleeping well tonight!
Cousin Ralph with my only surviving Connelly uncle, Uncle Barney. We were lucky to have him with us this weekend, as he's been ill. But his sweet voice and smile were a joy to all of us there.
My sister Maggie and her man Roger. After being badly burned in a terrible explosion last fall, Roger continues his amazing recovery. An incredible man with a great sense of humor.
Matt with a mouthful! Even his mother Theresa can't look. The food, although you can't tell from this picture, was terrific and plentiful.We're already planning next year's reunion. Where? We're working on that! But we will definitely be doing this again. Family is too important to for us to lose the connections we re-established this year.
That was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed your pictures. Especially, the picture of Matt and his mouthful. Too funny!
